Signs of Infertility You Can’t Ignore

The first sign of infertility is the failure for a couple to ‘get pregnant’ after a full year of trying. The reasons for this are many, but one of them is aging.

Several reasons for women’s diminished fertility with advancing age include a reduced health of their eggs and a reduced ability of their ovaries to release them. There’s also an increased risk of fertility-reducing health issues and miscarriage risks with age.

A woman’s highest fertility is in her 20’s, with her 30’s being a time when she is still relatively fertile. She will start having difficulty conceiving as she gets into her mid to upper 30’s. Miscarriage risks start to come into play in her late 30’s. Fertility decreases appreciably in smokers and drinkers. With more women choosing careers today that put off child-rearing, aging has become the primary reason for infertility.

When women fail to conceive after a whole year of intercourse, they are considered to fall in the Primary Infertility category. If they have conceived once before but have gone a year without conceiving (while trying the whole year), they are considered to be in the Secondary Infertility category.

The Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor – The Good And The Bad

Trying to get pregnant should be a happy and exciting time for you and your partner; you shouldn’t have to worry about getting pregnant. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor helps cut down on the time that it takes to conceive.

The big advantage to the Clearblue Fertility Monitor is that it is easy to use, yet is very advanced and increases your chances of conceiving.

The Clearblue makes use of separate, disposable one-time use test sticks. One of the sticks is wetted and placed into the monitor test slot, then wait for the test to complete. Most fertility monitors have a set tracking schedule built in, but with the Clearblue monitor you can easily program it to track your monthly cycle to the day.

The highest odds of conceiving are when your cycle coincides with the “peak” fertility status bar on the Clear Blue display screen.

The exclusive “M” Button:

The monitor comes with an exclusive “M” Button which you press at the start of your monthly cycle, and establishes the start of the six-hour window of time in which you can do a test. It’s important that this “window” includes a time when it’s convenient for you to test your first urine of the day on both weekdays and weekends. You are free to change the time or day that you press the “M” button on your next cycle, in order to get more tests done at different times in your cycle.
